The panel to the left of Saint Vincent's altar depicts
Old Testament prophets David, Joel and Zachariah who
spoke of the coming Messiah. They are pointing to Mary,
descendant of David and Mother of Christ. The text below
comes from the Advent antiphons from Evening Prayer of
the Divine Office. |
| In the stone panel to the right, the Wise Men offer
their gifts to the infant Christ. The text is the
special invitatory psalm with which the Church begins
her official prayers daily during the Christmas season. |
 |
The pelican carved on the base of the altar
is a symbol of charity, recalling the legend where the pelican
would prick herself to feed her young with her own blood,
rather than let them starve.
